one would have to move the auto generated removable drive icons to the bottom. which would auto open looking similar to the photo. I moved the help to the home directory and added folders that most would find use for I did not have to change the wallpaper was just testing the feature.

If I insert a usb thumb drive, an icon appears on the desktop and touching it shows the drive is not mounted. If I double click it, the file manager opens and shows the content. If I right click the drive and click eject the icon is removed and the file manager returns to the home directory.

If the file manager is open and I insert the usb stick then the drive is auto maounted and a new instance of the file manager opens and displayes the content. If I then rightclick and click eject, the icon is removed and the second instance returns to the default home directory.

I used another newer drive with the same result. although when it is ejected I get an error that the drive is busy for some reason but gives an option to unmount anyway which then gives the same result.

If some complain that the classic windows 95 start button is missing tell them it is not windows but if they put the cursor to the bottom of the screen a vintage task bar will appear and magically they will be in love

I noticed the first and this time that the animated splash has what looks like four red dead pixels in a square just left above the v and a dashed like line of the same on the horizon line on the right of the logo. this appears nowhere else in this or other installed systems or when I use the monitor on the netbook. the resolution is 1280 x 1024.

same error prior to login ( can't find png?)

same issue with the usb auto mounts. it works the first time and then as previously described.

another issue is the mouse over on check boxs. if I open ie /settings/removable drives and media there are no boxs checked, but if I move the mouse over the area of the check boxs checks magically appear in the appropriate mount and browse removable devices area. if I swipe again sometimes they dissapear but sometimes not. I moved the mouse out of the dialog with the boxs checked but it changed nothing.

This is likely all useless information, possibly a bad download.sorry, will stop posting on this.

please go to runlevel 2 as root , run xvconf to generate xorg.conf file, once done, go back runlevel 4....

Thanks for confirmation. this is 32bit and I agree useless information and I volunteered to stop posting

My desire really was to see a more refined desktop for vector standard and attempted to display what could be an alternative implementation of the default. with understanding this is beta and may have issues, but now would be the time if any. I was compelled to post the issues I discovered wondering if it were glitch or simply bad download

vector standard has out grown my old 32 bit systems and more power to you, I like Vector. I am simply an end user, with an attitude I guess, and this is likely not the place.

that's really too antique hardwares, in london flea market should only cost 10 quit.especially intel cpu, nothing more can be tweaked from, no possible to overclock at all. plus buggy nforce vga cards...if it's amd k6-2 series, or 3dlab vga chipsets, then you've plenty of room to tweak a bit....

NO NEED TO BURN A CD TO INSATLL, THAT TAKES TOO LONG TIME....BETTER YOU BOOT YOUR LAPTOP FROM KNOPPIX 7.2.0 CD OR DVD, THEN LAUNCH YOUR VECTOR INSTALL FROM THERE WITH VL7.1 ISO IMAGE DIRECTLY.

on intel pentuim III, not possible to install 64 bit vl7.1..you will miss to experience the charm of 64bit computing...which is faster under most circumstances and as an added bonus also inherently more secure due to the nature of Address space layout randomization (ASLR) in combination with Position-independent code (PIC) and the NX Bit which is not available in the stock i686 kernel due to disabled PAE. If your computer is running 4 GB or more of usable RAM, 64-bit should be strongly considered as any additional RAM cannot be allocated by a 32-bit OS
